Suspected sockpuppets


Simba16 has inexplicably been archiving discussions off of Товболатов's talk page, both today and back in January. There's been no communication between the editors on-wiki that would suggest that either of them proposed this to the other, which makes this suggestive of sockpuppetry. The full extent of communication between the two accounts on-wiki appears to be this comment from Simba16 last year, where they asked them if there would be a translation of Battle of Khankala (1807) to ru.wiki (they eventually collaborated on said article). There's been a little more communication between the two on ru.wiki 2019-2021, where they also repeated the pattern of Simba16 archiving materials off of Товболатов's user talk page:. There's a shared focus on Chechen topics across both projects, and an overlapping xtools edit timesheet; either sockpuppetry by one editor intermittently trying to cover their tracks, or meatpuppetry by editors communicating off-wiki. Editors may wish to review prior sockpuppet investigations of Товболатов's connections to newer accounts at Sockpuppet investigations/Товболатов/Archive. signed,Rosguill talk 14:19, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
